Peabody has received $497,000 from the Brownfield Redevelopment Fund  
to assist with the cleanup of the proposed 45 Walnut Street Park.

site in order to revitalize a vacant lot that will provide much- 
needed downtown green space.

"Over this past year my administration has pursued additional  
financial resources to address the remediation costs for the cleanup
